As the time draws near for; the special election to vote for the purchase of the proposed Civic Center property, sentiment seems to be crystallizing.

After a long, straight drive over the top of the hill, Clar ence unlimbered a number 8 iron, cut loose for the green and then stood staring in disbelief as the ball bounded onto the green and rolled straight into the cup. “It would have been a hole-in-one,” he commented later, “if I had shot from the tee on a short hole.” pleted the location hajs been moved. A wave of consternation sweeps over the customer as he views for the first time the luxurious new sur- i roundings. For some who make their initial journey a question arises as to whether they will be able to get the dog on return or if the family estate will be involved in settlement for room and board. But there real ly is no need for consternation. The dogs are restored well and happy and, to date, there has been no instance of the family estate standing in jeapordy. : Our favorite newspaper.

Perhaps to went ahead, regardless, and bought the land and, with no fear of contradiction, we can say that not one of those Scot chmen would come forward now and say that they did wrong. Another type of opposition to the bond issue has come from a group who base their actions on another’s judgment. Caring lit tle one way or the other for the issue at stake, they p!an to vote the way they thinK men whose judgment they respect are going to vote. There are a considerabk' number of people who planned to vote “No” be cause they thought the Mayor or the Commissioners were op posed to this purchase of land. the project will benefit. But where bonds are issued for an iTiprovement which will be an asset whose value and use will incrpase with the years, there is -Jh C.0 i-jason why the payment shoul.l not be spread over a period of yeavs. In this case, the company of books bring greater delight than to tubercu-| losis patients.

The Neal kennel’s were always a When Friar Stimson looked out over his flock one moniing he saw two new faces. Occasionally after that he saw them in his congrega tion. The parson noticed in particular the friendly interest and the kindly consideration they had for each oth. er. The speculation was that the af fair was leading to romance. Closer acquaintance revealed to the preach er the pair had been married about eleven years and the trio of little blond girls in the Sunday school were also members of the outfit. Stimson doesn’t always carry the lightest of loads. Constantly turn ing conflicting interests and opin ions into successful agreement is something of a task. In this case, the parson didn’t mind having his prophetic powers entirely blasted as he regards the harmonious life of this little family with no small amount of satisfaction.

In the issue at stake, howover. aie heartily for, not against, this purchase. The misappre- nension which existed as to their attitude has been cleared up. Two weeks ago The Pilot pub lished a letter from Mayor Stutz heartily endorsing the purchase of the Harrington property and expressing the hope that the election would be carried. Last w’eek Commission er Stevens went on record as being in favor of the project and three of the other four Com missioners concur. This assur- atice fihould check unfounded rumors of their opposition and influence all who value their judgment to back this project. Others oppose the bond issue for purely f^^inancial reasons: be cause they consider the price of the land too high; and be«iuse they fear its purchase >vill raise our tax rate. To the first group we recommend a 1 ilk with the real estate men of the tovm who will enumerate to them prices paid for less desirable lots in town, rents asked and obtained in adjacent buildings, and last but not least, the price already offered by a prospec tive buyer for only one of the lots in this Harrington prop erty. We believe these doubt ful ones will then agree that the price of $9,000 is a fair one. The most serious objection to the bond issue comes from those who fear it will raise our t^es. The Pilot has already tak- an interest in hobbies and handicrafts that can be fol lowed in bed.

There is also, of course, to be seriously considered the disruption in real estate and business values which would take place if the land were opened to busint«. In quiries have already been made by would-be purchasers. The lots would probably be sold singly and business would inevitably move in that direction. This would cause a serious disrui>- tion in real estate values in oth er parts of town. Merchants sit uated in less desirable locationa would inevitably suffer. We must buy this land now or not at all. So if you want to help carry it; vote Yes on Tues day the 19th, and be able to prominent place in summer diets. The local dairies with their grade A ratings put the finest of products on the market and are capable of fill ing larger orders. We, who live in the Sandhills more months than we are away from them, accept a lot of vegetation, fruits and Vegetables without much thought. Watching a trio from northern New York state last week, our viewpoint was switched around to another an gle. The Tar Heel girl of the outfit, back on native soil, discovered a late blooming cape jasmine and a mag nolia. She admitted they did strange things to you when in a distant state. She reveled in the peach and melon crop. And as the Tar Heel’s taste leaned to the home grown juicy yams in preference to the dry er potato of the north, a few of last year’s sweet potatoes were hunted up for her. The colored wash woman brought in a donation from her gar den, including okra, a delectable dish for one bom below the Mason-Dixon line, but one the Yankee frequently finds hard to swallow. Broccoli and brussels sprouts were left where they should be and the exchange was fair enough according to the visitor. W'e have been urged to use more milk. A nationwide drive began June 9th to dispose of surplus dairv pro ducts. Drug stores, chain stores and independent stores have all been ask ed to cooperate in the drive. The object of the campaign is not only to help the farmer dispose of his wares but offer to the consumer milk and milk products in quantity. Milk in many forms could be serv ed more liberally and given a more We hear that “Jim” Boyd’s book will probably be titled “Spur” and that it will start running serially in the Saturday Evening Post some time late this year or soon after New Years.
